Chapter 601: Five hundred and ninety-nine, fate Chapter 601: Five hundred and ninety-nine, fate Luo Shu was telling the little girl a story from a picture book when the phone rang, so she handed the picture book to the little girl, “Wait a bit, and I’ll continue the story for you.”
“Okay!” the little girl obediently nodded, took the picture book, and began to look at it herself.
Luo Shu stood up, walked forward, and picked up the phone, “Godmother!” At this ti, it could only be godmother who was calling.
“Luo Shu, I’ll co over to see you in a bit,” Zhao Aishu said with so anticipation. Now that Luo Shu was pregnant, she naturally couldn’t let Luo Shu run over to her.
“Okay! Then I’ll wait for you,” Luo Shu hung up the phone and walked back to the little girl’s side to continue telling her the story from the picture book.
In less than half an hour, Zhao Aishu arrived at Luo Shu’s ho.
Upon entering the house, Zhao Aishu saw the little girl sitting on the couch, looking at the picture book, with her chubby little face and those black and animated big eyes, particularly eye-catching. Though she was a bit skinny, she was instantly likable.
Seeing Zhao Aishu’s satisfied smile, Luo Shu knew she took a liking to the little girl.
The little girl, sensing soone was watching her, looked up and saw Zhao Aishu smiling at her; she too gave Zhao Aishu a sweet smile. This auntie’s smile was so gentle, just like her sister’s, making her feel an urge to get closer.
Zhao Aishu, seeing the smile on the little girl’s face, felt even fonder of her.
Moving forward, Zhao Aishu sat down next to the little girl and asked with a smile, “Little sister, what book are you reading?”
“It’s a book about the Yan Country Guards catching bad guys. It’s really good! Auntie, do you want to read it together?” the little girl asked as she looked towards Zhao Aishu.
“Okay!” Zhao Aishu nodded.
The little girl shifted the book towards Zhao Aishu and pointed to the words on the page, “Auntie, do you know these words?” She could only understand the pictures and wanted to learn to read them in the future.
Zhao Aishu reached out to ruffle the little girl’s hair and nodded, “I do! Do you want auntie to tell you the story?”
“Yes!” the little girl nodded happily.
Seeing how harmoniously the two of them were getting along, Luo Shu smiled and took a seat nearby. With soone to keep godmother company, she wouldn’t be lonely anymore! In her view, power and money were far less important than the companionship of her family and loved ones.
“And then, the Yan Country Guards drove the bad guys out of Yan Country,” Zhao Aishu closed the picture book in her hands, handed it back to the little girl, and with a faint smile, asked, “Did you enjoy it?”
“Auntie and sister tell it just as nicely,” the little girl nodded vigorously, “I’ve never heard stories before. Auntie, will you tell stories in the future?” She liked this auntie very much, especially since she had the sa scent as her mother, making her want to be with her.
“If you want to hear them, I will tell them. Little sister, what’s your na?” Zhao Aishu asked kindly as she looked at the little girl.
“My na is Niuniu,” the little girl then turned her gaze back to the picture book in her hands. Should she read it again?
“Niuniu, can auntie ask you a question?” Zhao Aishu asked as she looked at Niuniu, her eyes full of affection.
Niuniu turned her head to look at Zhao Aishu and nodded, “Mhm!”
“Do you like your auntie?” Zhao Aishu asked. Her heart harbored a sliver of hope and a touch of nervousness. Although she liked Niuniu very much, if Niuniu didn’t like her, she couldn’t very well force her, could she?
“I like it!” Niuniu answered without hesitation.
Zhao Aishu’s face lit up with a happy smile, “Then, would Niuniu like to co ho with auntie?”
Niuniu tilted her head and thought for a mont, then glanced at Luo Shu not far away, “Will I be able to see my sister in the future?”
“Of course! Your sister is auntie’s family,” Zhao Aishu said with a smile.
“Then Niuniu is willing,” Niuniu nodded.
“How about Niuniu calls ‘mom’ from now on?” Zhao Aishu looked at Niuniu expectantly. It wouldn’t matter if she wasn’t willing, as long as Zhao could treat her well, Niuniu would surely feel it.
Niuniu stared at Zhao Aishu for a long ti and then nodded, “Okay!” She carried the scent of a mother, which Niuniu really liked!
“Good child!” Zhao Aishu reached out to embrace Niuniu, lovingly stroking her black hair. She believed they would get along very well.
After spending so ti with Niuniu, Zhao Aishu sat down next to Luo Shu, “Luo Shu, godmother really doesn’t know how to thank you enough.” She really liked Niuniu; just being with her for a while made her very happy. It was as if she really beca a mother and Niuniu was her own child. Perhaps this was what they called fate; she and Niuniu were destined to be mother and daughter, so they felt a mysterious sense of kinship the mont they t.
“Godmother, do we really need to be so formal with each other?” Luo Shu replied, smiling.
“Alright! I won’t stand on ceremony with you, then. How many days will you stay in Cloud City this ti?” Zhao Aishu asked. She hoped Luo Shu could stay a bit longer.
“I am leaving shortly. Hanmo took so ti off, especially to accompany on this trip. We’ll be heading back to the Guard District in two days,” Luo Shu said.
“Can your body handle it? You can’t be careless when you’re pregnant!” Zhao Aishu said worriedly. She couldn’t conceive because of an incident during her own pregnancy, which had resulted in infertility. Even though Luo Shu said it could be treated, at her age, it really wouldn’t be suitable to have children anymore.
“Don’t worry, godmother, I know my limits,” Luo Shu smiled and nodded.
“That’s good to hear,” Zhao Aishu knew Luo Shu was a person who understood moderation.
After chatting with Luo Shu for a while, Zhao Aishu took Niuniu and said their farewells.
Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo walked Zhao Aishu and Niuniu out of the alley together.
“Sister, you must co to visit whenever you have ti!” Niuniu, seated in the car, stuck her head out to wave at Luo Shu, looking at her expectantly.
Luo Shu nodded, “I definitely will.”
As Zhao Aishu’s car gradually drove away, Luo Shu smiled, took Lu Hanmo’s hand, and they walked ho.
“Luo Shu?” A surprised voice ca from behind her.
Luo Shu turned her head to look and saw Luo Jianmin standing not far away, “Big uncle!”
He was Luo Jiansen’s older brother, the head of Luo Family Village, and the godfather in na to the original host. He and his wife had always taken good care of the original host’s three siblings. So, she often sent over so food and necessities for them. It was unexpected to run into him here.
“It really is you! I thought I was seeing things,” Luo Jianmin approached with a hearty laugh. It had been more than two years, and Luo Shu had beco more and more beautiful. He still rembered when she had left, she was skinny, sallow, and malnourished.
